SHOT Show 2018: 5.11 Tactical Debuts New Class A Uniform Line

5.11 Tactical has announced a partnership with The Woolmark Company to create a Class A Flex-Tac Poly/Wool Uniform Collection. The collection includes men’s and women’s short sleeve and long sleeve shirts and pants, and was unveiled at the 2018 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this week, with full market availability coming Summer 2018.

Like other products in 5.11’s uniform line, the Class A Flex-Tac Poly/Wool Uniform Collection features fade resistant fabric, Teflon finish, and home laundry friendly qualities. The new Flex-Tac Poly/Wool technology is designed to provide increased functionality and durability by absorbing moisture vapor and controlling odor naturally. The garments resist soiling and staining, and deliver natural thermoregulation and UV protection, according to the company.

Australian Merino wool was chosen to provide softness, while also resisting abrasion, and because it features natural stretch properties, while retaining shape and color. According to 5.11, the Flex-Tac Poly/Wool line is the first ever Class A uniform with mechanical stretch that also has a Teflon finish and is home laundry friendly.

Scanner audio captured an officer’s account of what happened at the scene, CWBChicago reports: “Ten people surrounded me, indicating that they had firearms. And one person pulled him away from me, holding his waist, indicating that he would use a firearm against me.”

There were so many police officers, sheriff’s deputies and Highway Patrol troopers that the court appearance had to be moved out of Justice Court to Judge John Larson’s Courtroom Number Three on the third floor of the Missoula County Courthouse.

The vehicle pursuit ended in the town of Kittitas where Deputy Thompson was backed up by Officer Benito Chavez. The suspect exited the vehicle and exchanged shots with the two law enforcement officers.

Sarah Wilson and her boyfriend were arrested during a stop in Chesapeake after officers allegedly found drugs in the 1996 Lexus the couple were driving. Police said they handcuffed Wilson and, while attempting to apprehend her boyfriend, 27-year-old Holden Medlin, he became combative and ran away from the scene.
